Democrat Rep. Ruben Gallego of Arizona called GOP Texas Senator Ted Cruz a 'f***ing baby killer' in a series of Twitter posts on Tuesday night expressing his outrage and grief over the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas that killed at least 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School.
Gallego, an Iraq war veteran, raged at lawmakers who have stood in the way of recent federal gun reform legislation efforts after an 18-year-old gunman slaughtered nearly two dozen people and then reportedly was killed by law enforcment.
'Just to be clear f*** you [Ted Cruz] you f***ing baby killer,' Gallego tweeted.
Cruz told CNN after the shooting, 'Inevitably when there's a murder of this kind, you see politicians try to politicize it, you see Democrats and a lot of folks in the media whose immediate solution is to try to restrict the constitutional rights of law abiding citizens.'
'We know from past experience that the most effective tool for keeping kids safe is armed law enforcement on the campus.'
